Hollywood’s obsession with comic book superheros continues with the announcement that Warner Bros plan to bring the Justice League to the big screen.

Set to direct the live action feature is Zack Snyder, who helmed Man of Steel and soon Superman vs Batman.

Expected to be released in 2018, Warner Bros’s president of worldwide production Greg Silverman, told the Wall Street Journal: ‘It will be a further expansion of this universe. Superman vs Batman will lead into Justice League’.

The original DC Comics Justice League line-up included Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman and the Martain Manhunter, although throughout the years various other characters have been included.

Man of Steel’s Henry Cavill (aka Superman) is expected to appear, along with Ben Affleck – who is set to play Batman in Superman vs Batman – and Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot.
